Unlocking the Best Amazon Prime Perks You’re Missing Out On
AMAZON has revealed some of the best Prime perks that you’re not using. When you think about Prime, fast deliveries and Amazon Video spring to mind – but there are loads of perks you might be missing.
Discover Prime Membership Discounts
First up, you can actually get a discount on Prime itself. Normally you’d pay $14.99 per month (or $139 a year) for Amazon Prime. However, there are some schemes that cut the cost of your Prime bills dramatically.
Amazon explains, “Prime Access, for instance, is just $6.99 per month for qualifying government assistance recipients, including SNAP EBT and Medicaid. Prime Student – another discounted membership – is $7.49 per month or $69 per year for members enrolled in two or four-year colleges that includes additional exclusive perks specifically for students.”
Additionally, new members can try the standard 30-day trial. And if you’re hoping to check out Prime Student, eligible members can claim a six-month free trial. So don’t fork out for a full-price Prime membership until you’ve tried claiming some of these discounts first.
Get Your Hands on Free Books
Yes, Amazon Prime gets you not only free books – but audiobooks and magazines too. This easy-to-miss perk gets you a surprisingly generous roster of freebies for no extra cost.
“If you’re a bookworm, Prime membership gives you access to Amazon First Reads, which lets you download a newly released book for free every month,” Amazon reveals.
“Plus, Prime Reading lets you borrow 10 titles at a time from a collection of thousands of digital books, audiobooks, and magazines. The options change frequently, so check out what’s available now.”
Health is Wealth with Amazon Prime
Amazon started life as a bookstore but now sells just about everything – including medications. You may not have realized that can get Amazon Pharmacy benefits as part of your Prime membership.
Amazon explains, “Prime members can sign up for RxPass from Amazon Pharmacy that lets you get your eligible medications for one low price of $5 per month. This program can add up to serious savings for members on multiple eligible medications. Amazon Pharmacy is making pharmacy better—with upfront pricing, free home delivery, and pharmacists available 24/7.”
